With the summer circuit finally winding to an end, the junior-to-be has time to focus on recruiting, which means taking three more unofficial visits before narrowing his list of potential college destinations.

Recently, Michigan State, Ohio State, Cal and Harvard have entered the mix, but only one of them is expected see Pritchard on campus in the next few months.

"I'm going to take one to Michigan State, Iowa, Oklahoma," he said. "Those are the three I know of that I'm going to take."

With those visits still unscheduled, Pritchard believes it will take most of the fall to get them completed.

Then he will announce his finalists, "for sure before the start of the basketball season," he said.

While Pritchard was adamant that he has only a rough sketch of his top choices, he said Oregon, Villanova and Wisconsin will all make the cut.

"The schools that have been recruiting me from the beginning," he reasoned.

Pritchard is a Rivals four-star point guard, listed as the No. 34 prospect in the country, and has many top 25 programs vying for his services.

That fact is even more impressive when one considers that national camps, where Pritchard is most widely seen by college scouts and coaches, are known for their one-on-one, fastbreak basketball, largely eliminating his greatest skill – Pritchard's sixth sense-like passing ability.

"It's very difficult in camps, because you've never played with the guys. You don't get a feel for them," he said. "In camp, you get the ball and you've got to create for yourself. All the moves you practice you have to put in during camps."

That's a disservice to Pritchard, however, as his basketball IQ and feel for the game are among the best in Oregon high school basketball history.

"You can't do that in camps, but it's a good experience playing against the best," he said. "I kind of look at the showcase events as me going against the best and working on different parts of my game. I try not to be (selfish). I try to get other people great shots still, but sometimes you need to showcase yourself, too."
